Do I need to return to you to have my stitches removed after my eyelid surgery? When does this happen?
Answer:
Blepharoplasty or upper eyelid surgery typically utilizes suture material to close the incision. Most incisions are well healed by 5 days and the stitches can be removed at that time. Suture removal ranges from 5-7 days with most surgeons.
